DDoS attacks pose a significant threat to business continuity by overwhelming IT infrastructure with malicious traffic, rendering services and applications inaccessible. These attacks can lead to low productivity, lost revenues, reputational damage, and data loss. Node4's DDoS Protection service mitigates these threats by identifying and discarding malicious traffic while allowing legitimate traffic to pass through, ensuring continuous operation.
The service employs network traffic 'scrubbing' to redirect high volumes of 'dirty' traffic away from the ISP infrastructure, feeding back only 'clean' traffic. It also proactively protects against application layer DDoS attacks ('low and slow') by monitoring traffic patterns and blocking anomalous traffic. This comprehensive approach defends against both volumetric and application layer attacks, ensuring business resilience and customer confidence with 24/7/365 protection.
